Stats for Teams Searching for Their First Cup
| Team | Years in the NHL | Cup Final Appearances | Closest They’ve Come |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver Canucks | 50 | 3 | Game 7 Cup Final losses in both 2011 and 1994. No one in Vancouver will ever forget LaFayette’s post or the ensuing riots. |
| Buffalo Sabres | 50 | 2 | Game 6 in 1999. Losing in overtime, no thanks to Brett Hull’s foot in the crease. |
| San Jose Sharks | 29 | 1 | Game 6 in 2016. They’ve never been able to shed their label as chokers. |
| Nashville Predators | 22 | 1 | Game 6 in 2017. Nashville fans still rue the bad call on Sissons’ go-ahead goal. |
| Ottawa Senators | 28 | 1 | Game 5 in 2007. A heartbreaking series for that culminated in the infamous Emery-Phillips mixup. |
| Vegas Golden Knights | 3 | 1 | Game 5 in 2018. Luca Sbisa hands the game to Lars Eller to end the Knights historic run. |
| Florida Panthers | 27 | 1 | Swept by Colorado in 1996, despite the year of the rat. |
| Arizona Coyotes | 24 | 0 | Lost in 5 games to the LA Kings in 2012. Dustin Brown isn’t admired by Glendale faithful. |
| Winnipeg Jets | 26 (1979-1996, 2011-2018) | 0 | Defeated by the Golden Knights in 5 games in 2018. Canada’s best hope was no match for Ryan Reaves’ heroics. |
| Minnesota Wild | 20 | 0 | Swept in the 2003 Conference Finals. Despite a disappointing playoff history, they did end Patrick Roy’s career in spectacular fashion. |
| Columbus Blue Jackets | 20 | 0 | The Jackets have only won one playoff series in their history, but what a series it was, upsetting the top-seeded Lightning in 2019. |
